i got to admit i dont know who she is

 

If you've ever listened to any classic radio, I'm sure you've heard some of his songs. Frankenstein, Hangin Around, Free Ride, etc.

If you pay attention to the guitar solo, you'll notice that it's Ronny Montrose, who went on to form his own band and give Sammy Hagar his start.

Edgar was brother to Johnny Winter, who is one of my personal favorites. If you like blues, you need to check him out. Johnny wound up taking the members of The McCoys (Hang On Sloopy) into his band and wound up with Rick Derringer for a second guitar player. Rick, Edgar, and Johnny usually contributed to each others albums in some way or another. This concludes todays rock history lesson.
